DIY - DeBadge

[TDE30]

you have to debadge it so people will think ohh its probably a 318i but then all 6 cylinders kick in and just take off and then they get scared

My six cylinders kick in one quarter mile at a time.

We'll have to determine that one sometime later. I am having a problem with cylinder 2 and 5 to kick in, thus I am only getting 4 cylinders to successfully "kick in" at the moment. I think if I can fiddle with my faux nitrous bottle, I might be able to get cylinder 2 to kick in, but there's no guarantee.

Haha I actually have a 16oz NOS energy drink bottle in the trunk, with random lines running under the carpet to nowhere.

not a huge fan of the screwdrive idea. i found using a thinner credit card worked just fine just make sure you use one that you dont really care for. i used a rogers video card to remove the badges on my e39 and worked great. then just followed up with a plastic razor blade to remove the left over tape with a solvent/window cleaner(foam type) for easy sliding

I almost forgot to lol at the fact that there is a DIY thread on how to remove a badge.

Hair dryer and fishing line people, easy as pie-coated cake.

I used dental floss and a heat gun.

Followed by 3m Adhesive Remover. True that Brother.

Yeah. Looks like you also need some of that cleaner for the INSIDE of your trunk...ha ha ha

Good post. Seems I'm not the only one annoyed by the bars that connect the numbers.

Since I bought mine with a few dings & half the gloss coat on the roof chipping, I didn't bother protecting the paint. Gotta get it redone anyway, no use in making the effort to protect it.

The best part is, if I ever want to put the 325e back on, the Advanced Auto up the road sells letters & numbers individually in the exact same font for $1 a piece.

fishing line is best in my opinion.... when you see saw it back and forth behind the badge it actually cuts out half that sticky shit behind it... oh and then a little goof off to finish it up.
